Ugh... really, how's this gonna work? ... Oh, Uwe Boll better not direct this film... | |
i hope this be a effin joke, its a worse idea than a mario movie, which was already made | |
No, I hope does direct and write the Pac-Man movie. Then we can kill him legally after the law is passed. | |
I think Uwe Boll has a gift, it's just that it's never been properly used before. Perhaps if he's forced to work with a source material such as Pac-Man, which would never be suitable in any way to be turned into a movie, when he churns out yet another mediocre film it'll seem like he did a great job. Kinda like trying to build a house out of shit. It's not a good idea, but at least you can respect the difficulty. | |
What the cockslap? Uwe Boll needs to direct it. It would be so terrible it would reset to awesome. | |
April first was a few months ago... What the hell man? | |
Maybe it'll be some sort of post-modern indie flick? Wherein the main character goes on a drugs binge, and starts having weird hallucinations? Like 'Fear and Loathing...', but with more Wakka Wakka. | |
I dunno, I think there's some potential here. Make it the sort of self-consciously stupid movie that dispenses with any pretense toward realism, gravity, or continuity, and just focus on visually impressive scenarios and elaborate, unpredictable, tongue-in-cheek gags. It's hard to make a movie good where anything can happen and it doesn't have to make sense, but it's got to be easier than a by-the-books Hollywood take on Pac-Man. | |
Sounds to me like hollywood is trying to churn out a title and attempt to win some cash with fanboys (you know who you are) who might actually go watch this crud *hurgh.....as a new movie is ejected from the bowels of mediocrity* | |
A Pac-Man movie...? I swear this will coincide with December 12, 2012. | |
Castlevania I can see working as a film. But Pac-Man? Pac-Man!? What next, Tetris? On second thought, I take that back. | |
They better cast Samuel L. Jackson as the red block. | |
Only if they cast Lara Croft as the yellow block. And The Rock as the blue one. | |
Come on, let's go pitch this to Hollywood. | |
"In a galaxy far, far away..." Who knows, could work. rolls on the floor laughing :D | |
Pac Man movie? Fucking Thrilled. Hold me back. We need some big fat yellow guy who constantly eats pills, has issues with his own ghosts, and can't think laterally. That was a nice joke but please. Or there's a game called PAC-MAN which no one has heard about and is all related to social drama settled in Bombay. | |
OK, the Mario movie had terrible acting, but if you like games, you'll like this movie. It's great in that old-timey way. But as for the Pac-Man movie...WHAT THE FUDGE? Is this a joke? What could they be spending the money on? I'm assuming it's animated, I mean, you only need to pay for the production team and some equipment, it said $200 million! What could they burn that on. I mean really: "Boss, this $20 million home was a necessary business expense. I needed a create environment so I could work. And a Lamborghini. And a jet plane. And the country of Russia." Honestly, if they make it in real-time I will literally jump in a pool of liter fluid, light myself on fire and invite my friends to rost marshmallows over me. A Tekken movie might not be such a horrible idea, but they've already done it with other fighting games (and in most instances, failed). But Castlevania might not be a horrible idea, I mean, at least there's a good premise. | |
Coming This Summer! "Waka Waka Bitch!!" Directed by Ang Lee!!! | |
"I have had it with these mother f-ing ghosts, in this mother f-ing maze!" | |
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I have to think back to april 1st this year and to the fake Legend of Zelda trailer that pissed me right the fuck off. I was all excited to see a live action Zelda movie cuz I loves Zelda and then I find out that its an elaborate april fools joke. WTF?! but I guess a Pac-Man movie doesn't have the possibilities a Zelda movie does. its just kinda shit-tastic from the start. | |
Lmao, nice!! | |
SAMUEL L. JACKSON and PAC-MAN in THE ODD COUPLE | |
PAC-FICTION what an idea. | |
Mario Movie don't remind me. Though how you gonna get an actor in a round yellow suit | |
Well first you need to find an actor who's only 2-dimensional. Ben Affleck? | |
Um, isn't that a bit of a waste of good money? I mean do you know how many bubble gums you can buy with 200 milion dollars? | |
A movie...about Pac-Man? A movie about a yellow blob on an eating binge, stuck in a maze with eyeballs dressed up in color-coordinated sheets chasing him around? Blasphemy. My faith in humanity would be shaken at this point. Sadly, it's already been shaken to an ungodly degree by several other seemingly unrelated events. More sin, need beer... | |
I really hope that the Pacman movie never sees the light of day. And if it is really made then it better be like this. | |
Fire the executive who thought this to be a good idea. Also - wow. Major necro. | |
...How would that even work? | |
Has anyone seen this video? It's a fake Pac Man movie trailer. It MIGHT be doable. They'd have to make the movie a bit quirky though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWL6j0SvqV0&feature=channel_page | |
Jesus, you mean they weren't lying? This is a worse idea than the Asteroids movie they are doing. And quite frankly, if it doesn't look something like this, then no dice:
And on a related note: | |
Extend that to feature film-length, and you've got Oscar gold. | |
Whoa, that picture looks pretty deep. Maybe they could make a pac man movie if they did it right. | |

Pac Man Film Part of $200M Deal
The movie studio behind the upcoming Tekken film has signed a $200 million movie financing deal that includes adaptations of Castlevania and Pac-Man.
Crystal Sky Pictures and financial specialist Grosvenor Park inked a five-feature deal that also includes an adaptation Richard Branson's "Losing My Virginity" memoir and a sequel to John Woo's Hard Boiled.
No other details about how the Pac-Man movie will be realized were provided.
"This financing is helping us in our expansion plans to greenlight films more quickly," Crystal Sky Picture's Steven Paul said. "We're now one of the few companies to have a big budget with which to develop our slate."
Both companies have extensive previous experience producing films with companies like Paramount Vantage and DreamWorks.
